- Product: Math Explorer Series
-
- Description:
-
- This series of math games actually teaches math with clever, high
- quality color animation. Students learn math concepts, not just
- number facts. Topics ranging from counting through division are
- taught as the students catch and move numbers or objects around
- the screen with the mouse. Sets of objects are used to introduce
- the math concepts including regrouping. Multi-digit addition and
- subtraction are taught in the traditional one's-column, 10's-column,
- etc. manner used in schools. Problems are solved in the same
- column-by-column manner in the practice games. Formerly, computer
- programs required students to add multi-digit numbers in their head and
- then type in the number from left to right.
-
- Each program consists of a series of games to introduce new concepts
- or practice learned skills. Each game has it's own individual help
- screen. Since all interaction can be done through the mouse, the
- students do not need to look from the screen to the keyboard and back
- each time a question must be answered. All of these games were
- play-tested with students, parents, and teachers to make sure they
- were easy to learn and fun to play. The speed of the moving objects
- and the difficulty of the questions can be varied independently.
